I love, love, love these retro vacuum jugs by Stelton at Skandium. Their bird-like appearance is no coincidence given the current interior-trend for our feathery friends. According toLiving etc, Danish designer Erik Magnussen spent six years pondering over the finer points of the jug's practical and aesthetic construction.

What animal will be next to fill the world of interiors? I'd like to see safari animals like lions and giraffes! In the meantime, here are some of the other bird-related home buys, including these a-m-azing wall stickers and the understated 'Ping' penguin by Finnish designer, Oiva Toikka.

Hello fellow design lovers! I've set up Bright.Bazaar because I constantly bore family and friends chatting about interiors, so I thought why not write it all down and share it with like minded people...and here it is, I hope you enjoy it.

To kick start the blog (i'm still learning!) I've posted this gorgeous kitchen picture that looks perfect for the sunny Spring weather we're having at the moment - long may it last, as too should this dreamy kitchen!
